That celebrities are increasingly speaking out about their own struggles with anxiety and depression is a shift worth celebrating

Shortly after the cover was released, SZA took to Twitter, writing: “Not doing any videos Interviews or photos for the rest of my life lol don’t ask,” followed by, “S/o Normani and meg tho. My sisters who I love very much and respect deeply.
She continued: “My anxiety has .03% to do w outside opinion. I was bullied all through high school I could care less. It’s my OWN THOUGHTS THAT HIT DIFFERENT.” SZA, who has previously discussed her experience with depression, is one of an increasing number of celebrities who have spoken candidly about their mental-health struggles. Ariana Grande canceled meet and greets at a concert last year to “preserve energy,” citing a recent spate of panic attacks. Last August, Justin Bieber posted a photo on Instagram of “tips to help with an anxiety attack.” Ari Lennox wrote a song last year about managing her anxiety.
“Last year, I was suffering mentally and emotionally, and I wasn’t able to stay all buttoned up and together. I wasn’t able to hold a smile or to keep things looking normal,” she said during her acceptance speech, in which she mentioned her decision to seek professional help. “I can say that after a year of a lot of intense work that I am happier, I am healthier, and I’m in control of my emotions and thoughts more than I’ve ever been before.
. As SZA tweeted, “‘Celebs’ been out here dying of addiction and depression for DECADES. Be glad Ppl are TALKING to eachother [sic] and sharing rather than hiding.”
